How it works

Use limit between 1 and 100. Read meta.pagination.has_more and pass meta.pagination.next_cursor as cursor in the next request. Keep the same filters and context while traversing a collection; treat the cursor as opaque.

Stop when has_more is false and next_cursor is null. Do not invent page numbers, decode the cursor or infer a complete dataset from one response. Individual collection endpoints list their supported filters and sorting options.
